Summary
Hakatere Conservation Area forms an entrance to Ō Tū Wharekai (Ashburton lakes and upper Rangitata River).
The public conservation land is bounded by Ashburton Gorge Road to the south and adjoins Hakatere Conservation Park at the upper reaches of the Stour River and Mt Somers Range. It is 34 km west of Methven.
This 4,840 hectares of public conservation land is an outcome of Barrosa pastoral lease completing tenure review in July 2010.
This public conservation land will eventually be added to Hakatere Conservation Park. This brochure is a temporary publication.
